This Election Is a Biblical Choice
Manhattan: I'm not a religious fanatic and I don't go to church every Sunday, but I know the basics and I'm baptized as an Episcopalian. I support President Biden because I think he is a good and honest man who will act as a president should and not get angry every time someone criticizes him.
Donald Trump is very thin-skinned and has revenge on his mind! Imagine wanting to lock up Liz Cheney for yourself, referring to the Justice Department's indictment of Liz Cheney for the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. He puts himself above the law. The U.S. Supreme Court is now full of justices he appointed, and it's clear that they all vote in his favor.
Returning to the topic of religion, I haven't read the entire Bible, but when I was skimming through the New Testament, I stopped at the book of Revelation, where a “beast” like Trump was described. Ta. I was so scared that I left it behind. When Trump started shouting “bloodshed,” I decided to pick it up and find out more about this beast who started out so sweet and personable, but slowly took over and became a dictator. He ruled the world and led it to destruction. The Bible warns that such people will emerge in government and become beasts.
Of course, I'm not saying this is the absolute truth, but if you're a Christian, you have to stop and say, is this a prophecy or what? No matter what you say, Christian or not, Trump has enough disadvantages for anyone who has the brains to pull the right levers on election day! michael de souza
naughty attendees
Brooklyn: To the families of police officers Jonathan Diller: Why would you invite a former US president to such a solemn event? It reeks of politicization and divisiveness. Don't you remember the police officers who were killed or injured in the riots that man incited? May God help America, which has no hope of healing. june law
photo shoot
Swannanoa, NC: I just read an article about former and current Prez attending various events in the Big Apple. The phrase that struck me was this lightly edited one: “Trump has made little effort to hide his desire to intensify his focus on crime” (and a snarl to his blue-collar supporters). Here's how I see it: Biden was attending a long-planned event with top Democratic presidential figures. Trump teleported to the fallen police officer's funeral home. There are several ways to take the thrust of President Trump's message, but I've come to take his words at face value. He has focused on crime for decades and intends to stay that way until he takes off his death coil. As the article points out, Mr. Biden actually called Mayor Adams and asked him to convey his condolences to Mr. Trump's family before his publicity stunt. Some of us, even in our golden years, remember things from years ago. Rob Stimson
important background
Manhattan: President Trump has repeatedly said he would pardon those convicted of attacking police on January 6, supporting police despite calling them “patriots.” I was disappointed to see the unbelievable coverage of Mr. Trump, who claims he is. Every article about Trump and the police should point this out. Cecily Keating
opportunism
BROOKLYN: I'm sick of the Orange scam that showed up at Officer Jonathan Diller's wake. Looking back on January 6th, he didn't care about the lives of law enforcement officers. He watched as they were attacked and overtaken by his followers. I think he was there because this is an election year and he's pandering to the vote. So far this year, 27 police officers have died in the line of duty. How many of those funerals has he attended? He shows up at photo shoots in New York because he knows the eyes are on New York and not on small-town America. We extend our deepest condolences to Mr. Diller's family, friends, and community. I support Blue 24/7. I want people to know not to drink the Kool-Aid when it comes to this scammer. Ramona Scott
don't say much
East Meadow, Louisiana: To voice actor Bob Pascarella: Get a life! Maybe start fishing or learn a new language. I will go shopping at the nearest mall. It takes up your time and allows you to explore the beautiful world we live in, writing letters to the National Voice continuously and checking daily to see if a love letter to Trump has been posted. Anything that gets in the way. Anthony Natale
I think it's not that bad

war is hell
BELL HARBOR: Genocide is the intentional killing of a large number of ethnic groups or nationalities with the purpose of eradicating them. Those who equate IDF tactics in Palestine with the Holocaust are using the term lightly. The unfortunate fact is that civilians are often at risk in modern warfare, especially when invaders use citizens as human shields. The best way to prevent civilians from being killed in war is not to start wars. Hamas sowed the wind and is now reaping the whirlwind. bobby nelsen
smarter investment
BROOKLYN: Steven Berger's call for a reassessment of Medicaid spending priorities (“The Real Debate on Medicaid Spending,” editorial, March 27) is spot on, but the biggest reason to reconsider investments is One reason is the lack of support for children and adolescents experiencing serious mental health crises. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, the situation for our children has significantly worsened. Strategic investments in youth services are critical because Medicaid is the largest payer of mental health services. Every day, I see first-hand the dire need for services for our most at-risk youth. These are children who may or are at risk of involvement in the child welfare and juvenile justice systems due to unresolved mental health issues. Discussions about Medicaid spending should prioritize investments in urgent mental health programs to ensure all children in New York State have the support they need to thrive. Ron Richter, former New York City Department of Children's Services Commissioner
special bargain
Manhattan: I strongly oppose Mayor Adams' ongoing contributions of taxpayer funds to asylum seekers, potentially totaling $53 million, to New Jersey company Mobility Capital Finance. To do. Monthly food payments are higher than New Yorkers' SNAP benefits. This is totally unfair. This voluntary agreement smells like a kickback to City Hall. The company receives a percentage fee each time these immigrants swipe their debit cards. The so-called asylum seekers, who come here solely for economic reasons and not because of persecution in their homeland, have had enough. All the gangs are already here, so the fear of being chased by gangs there is unfounded. Cecilia Glass
Unenshrined right
Holliswood: On “Old Deal Meets New Reality” (editorial, March 16): You're right. Someone should sue New York City for its “right” to evacuate and sue to end it. There is no right to refuge in the New York State Constitution's Bill of Rights. The enumerated rights include freedom of religion and the right to organize trade unions. The passage that champions and judges of 40 years ago hung their hats on reads: “Subject to limitations on debt and taxation, no provision of this Constitution… shall prevent the Legislature from providing aid, consideration, or assistance to the needy.'' It is not a thing.” is written. Therefore, it is the responsibility of state legislatures to help those in need (as long as it does not bankrupt the state), and to support the various social safety nets already in place (SNAP, welfare, unemployment benefits, Medicaid, to name a few). ) to provide support. And no state appellate court has ever ruled that this “right” exists. Gregory W. Chupa
